Twice a month, we revisit some of our best posts from throughout the history of Activetuts+. This week's retro-Active post as originally posted on the 8th of November, 2010; since then we've seen Microsoft announce that Windows 8 will support HTML5 for native apps, Adobe move further and further into the mobile area, and the release of HTML5 multimedia tools such as Edge.

Today, we're going to put that behind us and approach the discussion in a more sensible fashion. Read on to see what some of the most respected members of our community have to say on the matter.
